would you tell the world;
if you had your fifteen minutes?
If you could do some good;
what would you share within it?

If
I had my audience waiting;
I’d be ready and I’d be calm.
Yes, I have something to say;
and no, there would be no alarm.

Whether
they would listen,
I really cannot say;
but there’s no harm in trying,
so let’s get under way.

I
have one piece of advice,
I would love to share with all,
who live in hope and wander free,
hoping to meet Mr Right, eventually.

If
it seems too good to be true,

so ask tough questions
like: What motive is truly his?

Think
for yourself,
or you’ll come undone.
Don’t be told, why they’re doing it.
Please don’t be that dumb.

If
you can keep this in mind,

You’ll do better than me,
when swamped with desire.

Words
mean nothing,
only actions are true.
Ignore what they say;
look only at what they do.

How do they treat animals?
What do they say about their ex?
What kind of drunk are they?
What’s their attitude to sex?

Have you seen them in a rage?
Have they ever scared you?
Do they need centre stage?

Can they look you in the eye?
Are they ashamed of the past?
Do they seek to justify?

of a life, long and bleak,
but please look long and hard;
before into marriage you leap.

I would not steer you wrong,
I have no axe to grind,
but take responsibility,
do not let yourself be blind.

If you do not do this,
you really cannot mind,
when your fairy-tale is shattered,
‘cause you didn’t read the signs.
